Pharma’s Blind Spot: Successfully Using AI To Drive Drug Development

Jon Hu Forbes Councils Member Artificial intelligence (AI) has penetrated nearly every industry, but the pharmaceutical industry could arguably benefit from AI the most. According to the results of a study performed by Insider Intelligence, AI has the potential to curb drug discovery costs for pharma companies by nearly 70%. It can do this by making accurate, more nuanced predictions about a disease or drug. However, if the data feeding into…

Podcast: Developing Therapies with Transomics

Ayesha Rashid and the editorial team at the Xtalks Life Science podcast spoke with Dr. Samantha Dale Strasser, chief scientific officer and co-founder of biotech start-up Pepper Bio. The company is working to develop therapeutics in the areas of oncology, neurodegenerative disease and inflammatory conditions using a ‘transomics’ drug discovery approach. This involves the integrated analysis of several layers of biological data, including genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic and phosphoproteomic data using…

The Root Cause Of Pharma’s Drug Development Problem

Jon Hu Forbes Councils Member Everyone likes to point fingers at big pharma. They’ll point to how much money it takes to develop a single drug (up to $2.8 billion on average)—or point to how a drug caused severe, long-term side effects that result in it coming off the market—ultimately throwing that money down the drain. But ironically, they’re missing the point. The problem isn’t the cost; the cost is an effect…
